Topic: Help with Mocp [solved]

Hello i recently downloaded Mocp and it seems to be working perfectly,


Although when I try to put it into the menu via gui menu editor (I do not want to do it manually every time I want to listen to music lol tongue)

It does not seem to work or at least i do not know the code for crunchbang, anyone help me? greatly appreciated.

I have tried the following:

terminator --command="mocp i /home/michael/downloads" = Opens my music but in a playlist and it is in wrong order and is not ready for available playing

and I tried:

terminator --command="mocp -i /home/michael/downloads" = I do not know why but as soon as I try it with this, terminator or mocp open up for a split second then close immediately  after so I can not even tell what the result of this is.


any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you.

Try this:

terminator --command="mocp -m /home/michael/downloads"

-m tells mocp which directory to start in.

while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );

Man pages are your friend.

while ( ! ( succeed = try() ) );
